well tuesday i am driving upto spokane to pick this up. i am so stoked, i was looking for a CJ5 (since i cant find a CJ7 i can afford) and lucked out finding this one.

Original Classic CJ 6 MK4 Tuxedo Park
newer top
tow bar
Original 4 cylinder "hurricane" engine
T90 trans with New clutch
leaf bushings, and U joints
3 speed column shift
16" tires

he says it smokes a little but oh well, it runs and drives well, he cleaned out the fuel tank about a year ago. little rough on the fenders and the bottom of the door jambs.









what do you guys think?

You don't have to worry about denting it. Not bad though, it just needs a :boti: engine and a cage. :Sunn:

Cool! :thumbsup:
You going to use the Blazer chassis and just put the body on it?
That will save a lot of fabbing time/work. How do the wheelbases compare? I don't know the numbers, but it sounds like that will put the axles out to the ends, like you'd want.
Will it be streetable too?
